Well, it took almost 10 months, but my new RRA 20" varmint build is complete (almost). This is my second custom build from Tyler Black here in San Diego and the wait was
worth it. 20" .223/5.56 RRA Varmint barrel with a wylde chamber. 1:7 twist. JD Machine (also San Diego Co.) lower, upper receiver, and free float handguard. Timney 3# Trigger. Magpul PRS Stock.
I have a new Bushnell 6-24 X 50 Tactical Elite FFP w/G2 reticle on the way for some permanent TPS rings. Today I improvised for my second time at the range (first time at 300 yards)
with an old (but excellent) Leupold 6-20 X 40 VX III in a detachable mount.
It only took 4 shots to zero at 300 yards before shooting the challenge.
